Abstract

A light assembly (100) for illuminating an emblem includes a housing (106), an emblem (102), and an optical light guide (104). The housing holds a light source (108). The emblem has a structural body (110) defined by emblem edges. The optical light guide is coupled to the housing and has a shape associated with the emblem. A surface (116) of the optical light guide faces and is at least partially covered by the structural body of the emblem. The optical light guide defines exposed edges that project laterally beyond the emblem edges of the emblem. The optical light guide is configured to receive light generated by the light source and to emit at least some of the light along the exposed edges thereof.
